My blood sugar sometimes gets low, and almost every day I have a snack for a little pick-me-up. You know, to get through the work day... and probably because I love to snack.
I used to eat unhealthy snacks a lot (like potato chips), but lately I've been trying to eat healthier snacks (like almonds). This week will be particularly challenging - what should I eat for snacks?
Yesterday, I chewed on a sugar cube. Or five... (hey, we had a ton of leftovers from the bridal shower!). They kind of looked like this:
It was my dessert too.
Today, I worked very late so I had TWO cough drops as a snack. Not terribly satisfying or fun to chew like a sugar cube, but it helped me get through my work day.
Any other suggestions? I could have rice pudding, but I can't really think of many other snacks. Maybe sweet red bean paste? That one seems a little more time intensive. I have little time for this thing called "effort".
On a slightly related note, it is unfortunate that many healthier food options (such as fresh veggies and fruits) are more expensive than unhealthy and fatty foods (like fast food). I'm not the first person to make note of this, but I wish I better understood why that is and how to reverse that.
On another related note, I think this little pang of hunger and light-headedness is pretty much another #firstworldproblem compared to what people experience when they go to bed hungry, for days at a time. So if you haven't given yet to our campaign to help some hungry kids, please consider doing so by donating through this link: http://tfcanglican.org/get.
Do you have any recommendations for a good and acceptable snack during a rice and beans diet?
